Chapter 363: The Past of the Lou Family
During the reign of the first emperor, he had named two generals who fought with him as kings of the opposite sex, one was Prince Rong of the southeast, and the other was the one-word side by side king of the Northeast Lou family, that is, the maiden family of the Empress Dowager Lou Xueyan.
The one-word side-by-side king is different from the one-lineage Prince Rong, this side-by-side king only has a wife, and this wife only gave birth to three daughters for him before he died. But this side-by-side king is also dedicated, and the princess did not remarry after her death, guarding her three daughters to live.
The eldest daughter, Lou Xuekite, is a virtuous and virtuous woman, gentle and talented.
The youngest daughter, Lou Xueyan, was born peerless, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and she was naughty and cute.
The second daughter Lou Xueyang is the most ordinary in comparison, but she is the most stubborn and the most powerful.
Back then, the emperor wanted to accept Lou Xue Kite as a concubine, but he was rejected by Lou Xue Kite, who longed for freedom. The king loves his daughter, but he doesn't want to see the entire Lou family suffer a catastrophe because of this incident.
But Lou Xuekite, who has always been obedient, is very resolute this time, and resolutely refuses to marry into the palace with her will to die!
The king had no choice but to lock up Lou Xuekite until someone from the palace picked her up!
At that time, the emperor was about the same age as the king side by side, otherwise he would not be a brother and brother with the side king, Lou Xue Kite was still a girl in her twenties, and the most heard on weekdays was the story of the talented and beautiful woman, and naturally longed for such a person to live and die with him, green silk and white head. Naturally, she refused to marry the emperor who was good enough to be her father!
But so what, under the holy decree, if she doesn't marry, she will be disrespectful to the decree, and then the entire side by side palace will be affected! Lou Xueyuan naturally refuses to affect her family, but how can she be willing!
Lou Xuekite, who was locked up, became more and more depressed, and the second child would come to deliver food every day, and every day she would persuade Lou Xuekite to look away, and also said a lot of the benefits of marrying the emperor. That is the emperor's favorite concubine, if the emperor is happy about this throne, it may also be Lou Xuekite's, and then their Lou family will be the in-laws of the royal family! If Lou Xuekite gave birth to the crown prince for the first emperor, then after the first emperor left, the prince succeeded to the throne, then half of the country of this big qi belonged to their Lou family! When the time comes, what if there is no one to inherit the position of this side by side king, they have the emperor in their hands!
When the time comes, the side by side palace will really be above tens of thousands of people under one person!
When the time comes, Lou Snow Kite will have everything at her fingertips! It's better than being locked in a room right now! Willingly marrying the past is much happier than forcibly marrying the past!
Lou Xueyang's words are not unreasonable, but what Lou Xueyang wants is not these!
Lou Xueyu, who lost her freedom, was getting thinner and thinner, and the king and her two sisters were heartbroken, and in the end, Lou Xueyan couldn't bear to let Lou Xuekite go secretly.
Lou Xueyan still remembers that day, it was winter, and the winter in the northeast was very cold, and it was snowing heavily that day. Lou Xueyan secretly released her sister from the room and led people out of the palace from the place where she sneaked out of the mansion on weekdays. Delivered directly to the city gates. There was a carriage that Lou Xueyan had already prepared, as well as silver and other supplies.
That day, Lou Xue Kite cried and got into the carriage, and then said goodbye to her.
Both of them knew that this departure would bring endless disasters to the side by side palace, but neither of them regretted it!
The escape of Lou Xueyan made the king of the side by side angry, and he slapped Lou Xueyan hard, but he still had to accept such a situation, he even suppressed the escape of Lou Xueyuan, and no one was allowed to spread any news, let alone the palace!
But even if so, so what? Sooner or later, the matter will be revealed, and when the time comes, what their Lou family will face is Long Yan's anger, not to mention the glory and wealth, and they don't even know if there is any life!
The day when Lou Xuekite entered the palace was getting closer and closer, and the king became more and more anxious, he couldn't think of any way to solve the current problem, but he didn't want to watch the Lou family be destroyed in his hands.
Just when King Side by side was in danger, Lou Xueyan stood up.
She said that she was willing to enter the palace in place of her sister!
The matter of surrogacy is equally dangerous, if it is discovered by the emperor, it can be regarded as bullying, and then it will not be able to eat and walk around, so the king of the side by side does not agree. But Lou Xueyan has made up her mind, and bluntly said that if she doesn't do this, then their Lou family will be finished, but if she marries on her behalf, I'm afraid there will still be a glimmer of life. Lou Xueyan analyzed the pros and cons to her father, and in the end, the king could only reluctantly agree to Lou Xueyan's request to marry on her behalf.
On the day she entered the palace, Lou Xueyan changed into a red wedding dress made by herself, and dressed herself up beautifully, just like an ordinary bride with a smile on her face. Only she knows, in fact, she is also afraid, even if she speaks well to the king side by side, when the real moment comes, she is still very afraid. She has the courage to let go of her sister, and she has the courage to risk the crime of deceiving the king to marry on her behalf, but in the end, she is just a woman, and she is still trembling with fear when she looks at the magnificent palace!
Fortunately, the emperor was sensible, and he was only surprised when he learned that she was not Lou Xueyuan, and then asked her to explain things clearly. Lou Xueyan risked killing her head and said, but the emperor laughed a few times and praised her for her benevolence and righteousness, and also exempted the Lou family's sin, and she is a holy grace!
She was only fourteen years old that year, but she was trapped and died in that deep palace!
After that year, she never saw her sister again, and she couldn't hear anything about her.
Later, the first emperor died, Emperor Qiyuan became the emperor, she changed from a favorite concubine to the queen mother, for decades, her grandson is now also on the throne, and finally learned the news of her sister, she is looking for it.
Over the years, the side by side palace has gradually fallen into loneliness because of the lack of heirs, and after the death of the old side by side king, it was Lou Xueyang's son who inherited the position of the side by side king, in the end, he was a foreign surname, and his temperament made Lou Xueyan dislike, so the relationship with his mother's family gradually became cold.
Only this Lou Snow Kite has been remembered, after all, when she was in the palace, Lou Xue Yan was brought up by the eldest sister, and the nurse said that the first person to hold Lou Xue Yan was Lou Xue Kite.
This story is a bit long, from the beginning of Lou Xueyan to the end, the sky outside has gradually darkened, but no one in the study has left. Lou Xueyan was originally standing, but at this moment, she was also helped by Ah Ping to sit down on a chair, and the tea on the table was poured several times.
"For so many years, I never gave up looking for her, but in the end, there was no news." Lou Xueyan stroked the two jade pendants and said, "Until that day, Yi'er took this jade pendant to the palace to see me." ”
"Girl." Lou Xueyan beckoned to Hua Qingyan, "This is your token of love to Yi'er, don't you blame me for taking it away without permission?" ”
Hua Qingyan, who was named, was still immersed in the past that Lou Xueyan said, and she didn't come back to her senses at all, and was pushed by Hua Qingyan to know that the Empress Dowager was talking to her, and quickly shook her head and said: "No, no, no, how can I blame you, this jade pendant originally belonged to your family, and it doesn't hurt to give it to you." ”
Lou Xueyan chuckled again: "It's not for me, I have to return the thing to its original owner after I go back, otherwise Yi'er will mess with me, you don't know how precious he is to this thing, I asked him for it but refused to give it to me." ”
Hearing Lou Xueyan say this, Hua Qingyan became more and more embarrassed, isn't it a bit bad to talk about this kind of thing in front of so many people?
However, Hua Qingyan suddenly thought of one thing.
Her grandmother and the Empress Dowager are sisters, that is to say, the Empress Dowager is her aunt, and Yun Shumo is the son of the Empress Dowager, so there is still a generation difference between her and Yun Shumo, she needs to call Yun Shumo uncle!
Originally, it was a generational relationship, but now it has been related by blood!
Hua Qingyan bit her lip, feeling that she had a slim future between herself and Yun Shumo.
After ridiculing Hua Qingyan, Lou Xueyan fell on Hua Yaozong, who had not spoken. Since she finished inquiring about her, Hua Yaozong's expression was serious, and he didn't know what to think about anymore. Lou Xueyan thought for a while and said, "Hua Yaozong, are you willing to recognize me as an aunt?" ”
Hua Yaozong raised his head suddenly, his expression a little hesitant. After a while, he finally nodded and called, "Auntie." ”
Lou Xueyan happily agreed.
Hua Yaozong was indeed a little hesitant, he didn't doubt Lou Xueyan's words, after all, there was no need for the Empress Dowager to make up such a story to deceive herself, and besides, the affection she had traveled thousands of miles to come couldn't be faked. But according to Lou Xueyan, in fact, it is his mother who is sorry for the Queen Mother, if she hadn't escaped marriage, the Queen Mother would not have married on her behalf, and she would definitely be able to live a life of respect and harmony with her husband that countless people yearn for, and not die in the deep palace where you eat people and don't spit out bones.
But there is no regret medicine in this world, and there is no time back. So it's all happening, and it's a foregone conclusion.
Looking at Lou Xueyan's expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he still had a little uneasy conscience at the moment. Hua Yaozong pursed his lips and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Lou Xueyan: "Auntie, this is my place to thank you on behalf of my mother, thank you for your help back then, and thank you for your love of marriage back then, in the future, if my aunt is useful to my Hua Yaozong, despite me, our whole family will definitely not shirk!" ”
As soon as Hua Yaozong knelt, the others also knelt down, and as Hua Yaozong kowtowed to Lou Xueyan three times. Lou Xueyan originally wanted to stop it, but stopped moving. She could understand what Hua Yaozong was thinking, so she naturally accepted this gratitude. Of course, she also knows that if she doesn't accept it, this family will be uneasy in the future.
Lou Xueyan looked at Hua Yaozong, and then at Hua Qingying's brothers and sisters, and finally her eyes fell on that little dot, and she sighed in her heart, her sister is also blessed, and now she can be regarded as a full house of children and grandchildren, this family is much more comfortable than her sons and grandsons in Yongjing City!
